Justin Payne brings veteran point-guard instincts to Nicholls
In the 2008-09 season, Justin Payne was a three-year starter at point guard for Nicholls and led the Colonels to a 20-11 record while ranking sixth in program history with 329 career assists, a clean signal of his floor-general DNA. He stands out for handling, decision-making, and steady leadership more than flash, and his background as a former Colonel plus long-time coach suggests a player who understands pace, toughness, and team-first basketball. That kind of poise is valuable if you want structure, organization, and someone who can make everyone else easier to play with.
